I only put the 992's number out there for if/when the GT3 RS's numbers become known.

How many GT4 RS cars do you think will be made?

Because they aren't able to or because they don't want to?

I think it will be limited but based on time. they want to usher in the next variant and so the GT4RS is the final current variant. My guess is they planned on having it built for 2 years but add in supply chain issues, chip shortages, war, etc and I bet they make less than 5000 globally. but no one knows. I do agree it will be much less than we were led to believe initially. I think of the GT4 RS as the Porsche equivalent of the BMW 1M.

More like 3.0 CSL, E30 M3 Evo 2.5L, or E46 M3 CSL

Its a very small difference in wheel rate.

Its not a limited run. Probably a two year run. Perhaps around 4000.

Wait until you have driven it - Porsche spend a lot of time and effort on RS suspension set up, its one of the things that make them unique. They are the most track capable and yet road legal products they make. You will find it a bit "jiggly" and you'll get used to it quickly.

FWIW, the model year 2023 configurator is out. Base price went from $141,700 to $149,100, a $7,400 increase or 5.2%.

For every model year, the production of 911 turbo Ss are still the most limited number of cars, despite them being not numbered. The GT4RS will easily out numbered the number of 911 turbo Ss out there.

At 150k base and the absurd (price wise) options on the rs I mean they’re going to pump out as many of these as they can sell lol

maybe the classic, precisely 1 less than demand

Was hoping they would add in the 90l tank but nope. They’ve also added in option for wiring for a Porsche dashcam.
